Script: Stan Lee

Inking: Dick Ayers

Lettering: Art Simek

We left Ben surrounded by the elite of the US Army. I’m fairly sure we’ve yet to establish that his rocky exterior is bulletproof, so one would think that with a couple of dozen rifles pointed at him, Ben would be interested in making friends.7

Instead, he decides to rip up a fire hydrant and – in the next panel – belly dive the erupting water, using it to wash away the soldiers.

But props go out to the two soldiers who, having been told that they’re on the hunt for the Hulk, decide to body-tackle an over-sized super-strong monstrous-looking guy.
